Wicklow Lighthouse

County Wicklow(Wicklow Town)

Dating back to the late 18th Century, Wicklow Lighthouse has safeguarded ships travelling along the scenic Wicklow coastline for hundreds of years. Having been given a stunning make-over by the Irish Landmark Trust, it’s been transformed into a gorgeous and completely unique 2-bedroom holiday home. And wow those views are just to die for!

This historic building features 6 octagonal rooms set on different levels of the tower. From the arched windows set into the incredibly thick walls (a metre or more!) you’ll discover stunning views in all directions both out to sea and towards the lush green Wicklow countryside. What a romantic way to wake up each morning, gazing out to the Irish sea!

The living accommodation consists of charming lounge, a kitchen, 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom. The lounge has a bright nautical theme and is a real joy to sit in whatever time of day. Both bedrooms feature beautiful cast iron bedsteads which are set between two of those wonderful arched windows. Wake up each morning to the sound of the seagulls crying high overhead.

The contemporary kitchen is at the top of the tower, a bright and elegant room which makes great use of the space. You’ll find chunky wooden worktops and glossy white units stocked with everything you’ll need to cook up a storm. The family bathroom comes complete with a bath and shower overhead. Electric heating throughout keeps every room toasty warm.

There isn’t a garden at Wicklow Lighthouse, however there are countless stunning spots to within a stone’s throw of the property where can throw down a blanket and enjoy a picnic with fabulous sea views.

Local Area

Wicklow Lighthouse is set right by the sea on Wicklow’s beautiful coastline. Surround by the ocean on one side and Wicklow’s lush green countryside on the other, it’s a romantic location like no other. Take a walk along the coast and see if you can spot the seals at Brides Head.

Charming Wicklow town is also just 10 miles away. This buzzing coastal town boasts a lovely harbour and is set on the curve of a wide bay which stretches along for around 9 miles. Take a walk along the pebble beach here to blow away all the cobwebs! The town features plenty of pubs and cafes to indulge in during your stay at Wicklow Lighthouse. A pint at Fitzpatrick’s is a must!

There are lots of attractions and things to do in and around the lighthouse. Strike out and explore the Wicklow Way, Ireland’s first waymarked trail, and enjoy the stunning scenery of this county particularly up in the Wicklow mountains. Or spend a day exploring Wicklow’s Historic Gaol, an impressive and atmospheric visitor attraction telling the tale of inmate’s daily life there.

Film buffs will enjoy the Michael Collins drive, a 45 mile route which takes in some of the locations where the famous film was shot. And slightly further afield head for the beautiful Glendalough, the spectacular valley of two lakes where people have been drawn to for thousands of years.
